As you are aware, each year during the week of the summer solstice is International Yoga Day. Cities and studios around the world come together to celebrate the union of yoga. In many instances, a public event is held that incorporates 108 sun salutations in an outdoor venue. This year Jivamukti Yoga Jersey City has teamed up with HDSID (Historic Downtown Special Improvement District), the City of Jersey City and the Jersey City Office of Cultural Affairs to produce the first Yoga Fest Jersey City on Saturday June 22.
